I say that as if I've been somewhere, like Reno, but alas I haven't been any place special. Just a lazy blogger, I guess.
I did discover that a name I selected for the main character in one of my WIPs is also a pseudoynom for a mystery author. I'm kind of upset about that because 1) I'd never read any of these books by the author or pseudoynom (just liked the name) and 2) I feel like I can't move forward with this project because of the character's name (and my obvious affection for it). Honestly, it's not like the WIP will be done tomorrow (try next year) so I shouldn't be boo-hooing about it. It's just one of those frustrating things, you know.
I've done a little bit of writing (I need to get back to that 100 words a day schedule) and I think I've narrowed down a genre for myself. I've also decided to concentrate on one piece though I know I'll take a detour and write on something else. Several "moments" have come to me over the past 2 weeks but I didn't have a chance to write them down and now they're lost in my subconscious.
And I've been reading the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. I finished Living Dead in Dallas (#2) yesterday; hopefully, Club Dead (#3) will arrive by the end of the week.
Note: Please keep Marianne Mancusi in your thoughts. The lurvely Miss M. lost everything in a house fire while she was in Reno. For more info on what you can do to help Marianne, visit Literary Chicks.

I've never actually checked to see if my character's names were actual people.
ReplyDeleteGuess who's going to be on Google all day?
I think that would be hard...to have a main character whose name belonged to someone. I mean, they all must, or most of them anyway, but still:)

Oh, I need to google some names myself LOL. One gal ran into my sister and asked her if the character in my first book was her because they had the same name.
ReplyDeleteAnd I adore Charlaine Harris. Fabulous books!
